Today, most movies are projected digitally. But there’s more to seeing a film projected the old-fashioned way, from a 35mm or 70mm print, than a nostalgic return to the days when movies flickered on theater screens. To learn more, The A.V. Club paid a v

The Hollywood Reporter goes on set with season 5 of HBO's savage startup satire as Mike Judge, Alec Berg and their stars explore the suddenly under-fire digital industry and reveal the backstory behind Miller's departure: "T.J. wasn't LeBron."

I am excited about the new season. As a startup founder looking for funding, I can tell you that Silicon Valley captures exactly what that world is like. While we're trying to find a serious investor for a social media platform (Moptu) that is a more efficient way to share articles, which gives our users FAR more power over what they see, does for articles what Pinterest and Instagram did for graphics, a platform that actually deals with issues like the infamous "echo chamber," the VCs are giving millions to sites for people who obsessed with things like fishing. Yes. Fishing. For fish. With a pole. If you are an investor who sees the absurdity in that – get in touch. joshn@moptu.com

The people who brought DVDs into the world could never even agree on what the letters should stand for.

I never had the animosity for DVDs that I had for CDs. I guess because unlike CDs, DVDs, were an obvious improvement on what they were replacing. I still use them because Netflix still has most of its first run stuff on DVD. I will also continue to buy them until someone figures out a good way of putting extras on digital copies. But there is no question that they are on their way out. Is that early 2000s nostalgia I am feeling (already)?

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Coen brothers' debut, Blood Simple, I’m re-watching their 16 feature films and attempting to jot down observations on one per day, in order of their release. For a fuller explanation of what I’m doing and why, see my first entry, on Blood Simple.

My favorite (current) filmmakers! If they had only made the Big Lebowski they would still be my favorite filmmakers, but there is no denying the greatness of many of their other films (and yeah, there are a few duds, but that is always the case)!

There was Charlie Brown, the "lovable loser" who, try as he might, couldn't seem to do anything right -- except rock that fashionable bumblebee outfit. Lucy was the school bully and the crabbiest 8-year-old to ever exist in cartoon form.
